by the way wrong type of batten i was on about
you need an air gap from front to back via the roof air needs to move above the frames
the battern im on about is the one after the fascia board is on to push the felt further out by 1" therefore water drops directly into the guttering
you will see by this pic
as goes for wood blocks for the boards dosnt it make it easier but fitting that insulation seemed a bit of hard work doing it your way
I remember you mentioned battens under cladding under another build, so I pinched the idea.
There will be another 2 x 4 along the back of the roof joists, with the excess felt running over it, probably into a gutter, just to stop it splashing up the back wall of the shed.
I’m not sure about ventilating the roof space, does it need it? I still have a 1 inch gap long the front, above the noggins, so I could leave that open, and maybe trim the plywood along the back to reveal the same gap, if really necessary.

Yes, walls will be a bright, light colour, maybe white. There’s a huge doorway that lets in plenty of light, but I need to make a huge door to fill it sometime soon. I have 2 sheets of 10mm ply left over from the ceiling. So they will be pressed into action.

if you screw a large plank to the front of that roof so it sits higher than the roof level then any runoff cant be blown forwards by the wind then felt over the top of all of it.I remember you mentioned battens under cladding under another build, so I pinched the idea.

solves your issue of cutting the boards too short

fit 20mm through boxes in the conduit with lids and stuffing glands fitted in in them and use strip connectors . or use ceiling roses on the through boxes and connect flex in to themSo, moving on to lighting, if I have a row of four strip lights on the ceiling, that each have a length of flex coming out the end, and I have a conduit along the ceiling for wiring, what’s the simple way to connect them to the wire running through the conduit? They will all be on the one switch.
Is there a simple way to splice the flex from each light into the power line, are them screw connector blocks safe and legal spec?

just wire the lights in 1.0mm flat twin and earth in the conduit. all points must be earthed even if the fittings only have 2 core leads on them to the point of connectionSounds fairly simple, and they are all plastic so no earth to connect.
If it were me, as you havent boarded it on the outside, Id get as many in as possible
